COMMERCIAL ACCESS CONTROL

Our commercial electronic access control systems allow clients to keep tabs on and limit entry to facilities and sensitive areas of their business. This provides both information & data protection and a safer work environment for all personnel. Forget about re-keying or purchasing new locks; when an employee is reassigned or leaves the company, the access card paired with that employee is deactivated with the click of a button. Cards can be updated and reused for new employees as well, to help reduce costs. 

Implementing an access control system can save money for businesses by eliminating the need for frequent rekeying of locks. Traditional lock and key systems are not only time-consuming but also incur costs associated with key duplication, distribution, and rekeying. Here’s how access control helps save money in comparison:

Key Management Costs:

• With traditional lock and key systems, businesses need to manage and distribute physical keys to authorized personnel.
• Access control systems replace physical keys with electronic credentials, such as key cards or fobs, eliminating the need for constant key management.

Reduced Rekeying Expenses:

• In traditional systems, if a key is lost or an employee leaves, rekeying the locks is often necessary to maintain security.
• Access control allows administrators to quickly deactivate lost or stolen credentials or remove access for departing employees without changing locks.

Quick and Cost-Effective Changes:

• When personnel changes occur or security levels need adjustment, access control systems allow for swift and cost-effective modifications.
• Deactivating or reissuing electronic credentials is much simpler and less expensive than rekeying multiple locks.

Enhanced Security:

• Access control provides a higher level of security compared to traditional lock and key systems.
• The ability to control and monitor access electronically reduces the risk of unauthorized entry and potential security breaches.

Audit Trails and Reporting:

• Access control systems often include features like audit trails, providing detailed records of who accessed specific areas and when.
• This can be invaluable for security audits, compliance requirements, and investigations, potentially saving costs associated with legal or regulatory issues.

Scalability and Flexibility:

• As businesses grow or undergo changes, access control systems can easily scale to accommodate new users, areas, or security requirements.
• This scalability eliminates the need for extensive changes to physical locks and keys, reducing associated costs.

Integration with Other Systems:

• Access control systems can integrate with other security measures, such as surveillance cameras and alarms, providing a comprehensive and efficient security solution.
• This integration can enhance overall security while potentially reducing the need for standalone security measures.

Companies are exposed not only to external threats, but internal ones as well. Sonitrol’s access control can restrict and keep track of who goes where and when they went there. You have completely control over access to your facility or restricted areas within. This reduces the likelihood of internal theft or external intrusion, protects your physical assets and confidential data, and helps to limit any potential violence in the workplace.
